Westchase Long-Range Plan
As a neighborhood of Westchase the surrounding area benefits through the long-range plan developed for the area. Westchase District has a “380 Agreement” with the City of Houston which will bring tens of millions of dollars to the District to fund elements of the plan. A collaborative two-year process that involved the Westchase Board of Directors and staff, public agency representatives, numerous stakeholders, architects, engineers, and urban planners conceived Westchase District’s Long-Range Plan and brought it to life. The result is a vision that is both compelling and ambitious but also achievable with time. The plan provides a framework to help guide future development. Changing the public environment that developers can leverage, will attract investment and increase economic value in the Westchase District. We have already implemented the first part of the plan by developing a three-part trail system that connects Westchase District to the Brays Bayou trail system and Art Storey Park south of Bellaire.[3]
